Will The Bin Fit In My Driveway?
Our biggest bin is just under 8 ft wide and our truck is very compact. Most driveways leave more than enough room for us. If you're at all concerned about your site, give us a call or send us a text.

Can the bin be placed on any surface?

Can the bin be placed on any surface?
We would love a flat, hard surface like a driveway to place the bin on. Very steep driveways or soft ground should be avoided. If you have a steep driveway or soft surface, give us a call and we will work with you to figure out the bin placement. If you are placing a bin on the street you need to have a permit from your town or city.

We really only recommend the 7 yard bin if you've got a tight spot, or very limited amount of stuff to dispose of.
